Around The Bay

Thousands of runners braved the chilly rain at the 114th annual Around The Bay Road Race in Hamilton this morning.  After a looooong drive from Florida, I was happy to cheer on LPC athletes Dawn, Halinka, Jane, Helen, and Margaret.  They all raced the 30k and all had excellent performances.  All five triathletes used this race as a stepping stone for upcoming marathons or Ironmans.  ATB is an excellent early season race that serves as a cob-web scraper.  Great job ladies!

Here is a pic taken from the New Balance booth minutes before the start.  Everyone was in high spirits and brought a positive attitude to the start line, and a smile to the finish line.

Multi-Sport Symposium April 4th

Beginning at 8am, on April 4th, Dearborn Health in Waterloo, Ontario, will be hosting their annual Multi-Sport Symposium.  I have been asked to one of several guest speakers.  My presentation will approach how an endurance athlete can go about planning their own training and racing 'plan of attack'.  Coach CT will also be a featured guest speaker.  Craig will be discussing perspectives of training fundamentals.  It is always a humbling experience going up in front of a crowd and chatting about things that you are passionate about.  I look forward to the experience, and also look forward to hearing Craig and the other experts share their wisdom.  Click below for more info...

A wonderful week in Kissimmee, Florida has come and gone. The memories remain. Campers were treated to perfect weather, good eats, excellent training, and tons of fun. Coaches Jeff, Rob, and Char were an amazing help. They really know there stuff! Great times were had by all. I can hardly wait for next year! The 2010 LPC Florida Triathlon Camp will be held March 13th to March 20th.
